The Good

As the Moon enters into Virgo - the Yin, feminine domicile of Mercury - we are all afforded the opportunity to turn our attention towards the minutiae of our lives and take stock.

Virgo symbolizes the harvest, as the Sun’s ingression into this sign heralds the end of summer and the foreboding of winter. Truly, Virgo is an abundant sign, just as filled with material comfort and pleasure as any other earth sign, and saturated with fruits of the land waiting for you to take them. There are a myriad of blessings and opportunities presenting themselves to you right now. You just have to do the work. To be sure, the action of harvesting is very detail oriented, painstaking, and fairly laborious, but it brings great reward if you put in the time and effort.

There are three beautiful trines being formed during this period. Right off the bat, the Sun and Moon form an earth-sign trine, bringing peace and harmony to the material sides of our existence. As I always say, these are the divine parents of the Cosmos. The Sun represents willpower, agenda, mission, and drive, and the Moon rules environment, mood, context, situation, and emotions - pretty much every thing in our lives in some sense. When they form a trine with each other, great harmony and flow arises between our wills (the Sun) and our environments (the Moon). Doing anything becomes much easier, and you will feel much more supported in the process.

We also have trines from Mercury and Venus. Mercury provides us with ease in communication and thinking. Your thoughts will be clearer, especially about very matter-of-fact things. Venus forms a superior trine from Taurus, one of her places of rulership. This creates a lot of opportunity and avenues for success in the material realm. You will also find significant help coming in from other people to aid you in your pursuits. You don’t have to go it alone.

What opportunities in your life are waiting for you to act on? What can you do in the next few days to seize the fruits of previous labors? What initiative and steps can you take in order to eke out some of the blessings of a good harvest?

The Bad

There is only one challenging thing to worry about: just like last period, the square from Mars in Gemini.

This can create a great deal of internal frustration and angst, which is especially compounded by the already neurotic compulsion that Virgo has to get things right all the time. You are only human, and you will only ever be human; that is a strength, not a weakness. Nothing is so serious that you should shame and flagellate yourself for making a mistake. Transmute the fire of inner anger into a desire to improve yourself as you move forward.

The Wyrd

I know you wouldn’t necessarily think of Moon in Virgo as being an abundant sign, as characterized above, but read what the PGM (Greek Magical Papyri) says about these periods: anything is rendered obtainable. That sounds pretty abundant to me. Go and seize what you want - just be ready to do the work required to actually obtain it.

The superior trine from Venus to the Moon occurring on a Venus-day (Friday) is an excellent opportunity for Venus Magic. I would recommend engaging in Venus Magic on Friday evening, especially asking her for any help you may need with material manifestation (Earth sign trine). Making your home more beautiful, healing your body, and bringing people into your life that can help you in one way or another in a gentle, supportive way.

Remember, everything that I tell you here needs to be indexed to your natal chart, especially the house placement of the Moon, any major transits and the time lords in your life. A strong period for one person may be more challenging for another. I am currently taking on new clients for readings, and I would be very happy to walk you through your own chart and astrological weather - book a session with me here!

Astrological Signatures

Entry: Thursday, April 22nd at 9:08am EDT / 1:08pm UTC.

Departure: Saturday, April 24th at 12:06pm EDT / 4:06pm UTC.

Moon in Virgo: Peregrine. Since Mercury is of the daytime sect currently, the Moon finds herself in a foreign place without much support or strength. On their own, Virgo Moons are generally good times to get your ducks in a row and sort your life out. Cleaning, organizing, and doing activities which lead to more control and mastery over the details of your life are more successful here. Doing taxes or payroll – really anything involving details and precision – will be more successful now.

Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Bicorporeal Earth. Bicorporeality indicates activities and moods which are a mean between the extremes of movability (cardinality) and fixedness, not as erratic and changing as the former, but not as solid and steady as the latter. The earth element emphasizes the physical body and propensity for work, and the Moon in an earth sign often expresses more practicality, groundedness, and a concern for the material world.

Moon’s ruler: Inferior Earth Trine to Mercury in Taurus. There is excellent support for the Moon from her ruler for grounding significations into reality and seeing long-term plans through. This also creates more protection from the harsher sides of the square from Mars.

Relationship to the Sun: Inferior Earth Trine to the Sun in Taurus. This is a wonderful placement, creating great flow and harmony between one’s circumstances and outer environment. Events and plans will feel more harmonious, and the world will offer you tremendous support in achieving your goals.

Aspects

• Inferior Bicorporeal Square to Mars in Gemini. Arguments, fights, tension, discord, and conflict. Greater potential for burnout and overextending yourself. You may find yourself getting angrier more easily. Any progress or initiative on your end is likely to come from overwhelming anger and frustration at your current circumstances.

• Inferior Earth trine to Venus in Taurus. There will be exceptional harmony between people, and good fortune will abound greatly. The arts flourish, and creative inspiration is at a high. This is all strengthened by Venus’ essential dignity in her rulership of Taurus.
